Hieronder over de Japji, over Aquarian Sadhana, de zeven mantra’s en een Engelse vertaling van de Japji.
Over de Japji, ‘Het lied van de ziel‘ door Dev Suroop K. Khalsa
Jap betekent herhalen en Ji betekent ziel. De herhaling van Japji geeft je een consistente projectie en geeft je toegang tot je eigen oneindige bron van inspiratie en diepgang.
Japji is een van de vijf dagelijkse gebeden van de Sikhs. Het is geschreven door Guru Nanak, de eerste Sikh-goeroe die, samen met zijn metgezel, Mardana, te voet duizenden kilometers aflegde om mensen te leren door middel van zang en eenvoudige inspiratie om verheven en eenvoudige levens te leiden.
Heel duidelijk gezegd: “Guru Nanak sprak Japji als een manier om andere mensen te begeleiden en te verlichten over de realiteit van het Goddelijke in de Schepping. Japji is een leraar voor iedereen die op zoek is naar de Waarheid. De Geluidsstroom van Japji en de betekenis van zijn woorden, wanneer er met openheid en liefde op wordt gemediteerd, wekt een ziel voor zijn bestemming. Stap voor stap geeft Japji je de alomvattende kracht om jezelf te kennen zoals je bent en bij Gods Schepping te zijn in een geest van vreugdevolle overgave.”
De kracht van Japji komt voort uit de combinatie van zijn geluiden, of naad. Geluiden hebben diepgaande effecten op de psyche, en wanneer ze worden gerangschikt in de wetenschap van naad, hebben ze een zeer specifieke transformerende kracht.
Yogi Bhajan heeft geleerd dat door elf keer per dag verschillende stanza’s – of pauris – van Japji te reciteren, men toegang kan krijgen tot zeer specifieke effecten. Het reciteren van de Mool Mantra, bijvoorbeeld, geeft een ervaring van de diepte en het bewustzijn van je ziel en kan je lot veranderen in volledige welvaart.
Op dezelfde manier wordt gezegd dat de totale kennis van God en extase vervat is in de eerste pauri. Het elf keer per dag reciteren van deze pauri zal je optillen uit de diepste depressie, onzekerheid, nachtmerries en verlies. Meditatie op elk van de overige 38 verzen biedt even unieke, rijke en krachtige wegen van genezing, zelfontdekking en openbaring. Met de volledige recitatie van Japji Sahib wordt gezegd dat elk probleem kan worden opgelost en opgelost.
De structuur van Japji
De structuur van Japji is prachtig technisch en precies. Er zijn 40 pauri’s in Japji. Het woord ‘pauri’ betekent ’trede’, zoals op een trap. Er wordt geleerd dat Japji van God uitgaat en naar de aarde komt. Er zijn vijf elementen of ’tattva’s’ waaruit alle materie is samengesteld: aarde, lucht, vuur, water en ether. Daarnaast zijn er acht chakra’s, waaronder de aura. Wiskundig gezien is vijf keer acht gelijk aan 40 – het aantal paurees in Japji.
Wanneer je de eerste “stap” zet van het reciteren van de Mool Mantra, wordt dit geassocieerd met de Achtste Chakra op de frequentie van ether. Terwijl je doorgaat met reciteren, werk je geleidelijk door de chakra’s en de tattva’s totdat je eindigt bij de 40e stap met de Eerste Chakra op de frequentie van de Aarde. Op deze manier past het lezen van de hele Japji Sahib “alle elementen in alle chakra’s volledig aan en past het je subtiele en fysieke lichamen volledig aan.”
Scroll naar beneden voor een Engelse vertaling van de Japji.
Dit is wat Snatam Kaur zegt over de Aquarian sadhana (automatische vertaling met onderaan het origineel).
‘Wat ik weet over de Aquarius sadhana:
Ik ben opgegroeid met de Aquarius Sadhana, een oefening in de vroege ochtend die bestaat uit het doen van Japji, yoga en chanten. Mijn ouders brachten me naar de sadhana-kamer, helemaal gebundeld in dekens. Mijn moeder zei dat toen ik klein was, ik altijd uit mijn dekens sprong en meezong met de gezangen als ze begonnen.
Later, als tiener en toen ik begin twintig was, identificeerde ik me echt met de gezangen toen ik deuntjes voor hen begon te componeren op mijn gitaar. En nu als moeder hebben deze gezangen veel troost en vrede in ons huis gebracht.
Het volgende is wat ik weet en persoonlijk heb ervaren van deze gezangen. Ik hoop dat je dit met plezier leest en dat het je op de een of andere manier helpt bij je praktijk.
Het eerste gezang is de Long Ek ong kars. Ik leerde dat elke angst, elke emotie, elk lichamelijk ongemak kon worden gekanaliseerd in Long Ek ong kars. Met een rechte ruggengraat, kin opgesloten en veel adem ontdekte ik al snel dat deze mantra de kracht heeft om alles te reinigen. Het vibreert vanuit het centrale kanaal, de Shushmana, en zuivert en reinigt dit kanaal actief en verbindt het hele chakra-systeem.
Wah Yantee is de mantra van creativiteit en vernieuwing. Dit is waar de vreugde begint en de reis. De deuntjes zijn voor mij elke ochtend totaal anders. Soms ben ik verrast door de energie van deze Mantra omdat het zo creatief van aard is en toch zo oud. Het is de meest veilige creatieve energie die we tot onze beschikking hebben om aan te boren. Voor elke creatieve persoon die er is, moet je weten hoe belangrijk het is om veilig te zijn in je creativiteit en daarom maak ik elke ochtend gebruik van deze mantra.
De Mul Mantra verbindt je met de Oneindige Waarheid waar geen vraag, grens of gebrek aan energie is. Alle gedachten of ideeën die je kunnen misleiden, zullen in deze Mantra worden gecorrigeerd. Deze Mantra corrigeert je, zonder dat je het weet, want heel eenvoudig vibreer je met zijn eeuwige waarheid en wordt het jouw eeuwige waarheid.
Plots komen er dingen aan het licht die ondraaglijk waren om mee om te gaan, uitdagingen waar je niet mee om wist te gaan, gedachten die steeds ongevraagd terugkwamen. De eeuwige waarheid komt altijd in het spel en ontspant de dingen… Dat is alles wat nodig is. Dan zie je wat echt is en wat niet.
Sat Siri Akal is de mantra die ons voorbereidt op de dood, op dat moment waarop de prana het lichaam verlaat en de ziel antwoordt op alle trillingen, alle gedachten en alle handelingen. Het doordringen van deze Mantra helpt ons om ons leven zo te sturen dat we van dag tot dag de juiste koers varen en op het moment van overlijden in de Oneindige Stroom zijn.
Hierna komt Rakhe Rakhanhar. Dit is de krachtigste mantra die praktisch kan worden toegepast voor bescherming. Ik heb het vaak in mijn leven gebruikt. Het mooie is dat het een mantra voor bescherming is die niet alleen jou omringt met bescherming, maar ook je hele gemeenschap. Mensen begrijpen het beschermingsniveau waar ik het over heb niet; Het is echt en slaat alle negativiteit neer die op je pad komt.
Het is in wezen een heel lieve en mooie mantra. Veel muzikanten zullen op natuurlijke wijze mooie en lieflijke deuntjes kiezen vanwege de energie die deze mantra vibreert. Het effect is echter als een stalen zwaard zoals gebruikt door de felste krijger die je je kunt voorstellen. Deze combinatie van zoet en fel beschermt eigenlijk onze onschuld.
De Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Wahe jio Mantra is waar de chanting practice heel diep in de psyche doordringt. Allereerst is het erg lang. Dus nadat je erin bent gestapt, ervan hebt genoten, er grondig op bent uitgekeken, dan krijgt het vat op je.
Het is in dit moment van verveling dat als je erbij blijft en het ritme van de woorden toestaat om op je bewustzijn te blijven kloppen, dat Guru Ram Das zal binnenkomen en je zal optillen naar een plek waar de geest geen domein meer heeft, waar het tussen jou en je ziel en de trillingsfrequentie van je eigen bewustzijn is. We hebben allemaal volledig bewustzijn, we zijn allemaal verlichte wezens, en deze Mantra brengt ons in die staat.
Eindelijk zijn we klaar voor de genezing van Guru Ram Das wanneer we tot hem chanten aan het einde van Sadhana. De zon komt meestal op of het eerste licht komt eraan, afhankelijk van waar je woont en in welke tijd van het jaar. Maar deze sensatie van de zon die opkomt, beschrijft perfect het gevoel van deze Mantra. Het is de Oneindige ruimte waar Guru Ram Das bestaat en je bent daar bij hem. Het is de tijd voor je diepste gebeden, de gebeden waarvan je niet eens wist dat ze bestonden, de gebeden die uit je Ziel komen.
Er zijn veel ongelooflijke en mooie ochtend sadhana opnames’.
‘What I Know about the Aquarian Sadhana
I grew up with the Aquarian Sadhana, an early morning practice that includes doing Japji, yoga and chanting. My parents would bring me down to the sadhana room all bundled up in blankets. My mother said when I was little I would always pop up out of my blankets and sing along with the chants when they started.
Later as a teenager and in my early twenties I really identified with the chants as I began to compose tunes for them on my guitar. And now as a mother these chants have brought great comfort and peace to our home.
The following is what I know and have experienced personally from these chants. I hope that you enjoy reading this and that it in some way helps your practice.
The first chant is the Long Ek ong kars. I learned that every fear, every emotion, every physical discomfort could be channeled into Long Ek ong kars. With a straight spine, chin locked in and plenty of breath I soon discovered that this mantra has the power to cleanse anything. It vibrates from the central channel, the Shushmana, and actively purifies and cleanses this channel and connects the entire chakra system.
Wah Yantee is the mantra of creativity and renewal. This is where the joy begins and the journey. The tunes for me are totally different every morning. Sometimes I am surprised by the energy of this Mantra because it is so creative in nature and yet so ancient. It is the most secure creative energy that we have available to tap into. For any creative person out there, you must know the importance of being secure in your creativity and that is why I tap into this mantra every morning.
The Mul Mantra connects you to the Infinite Truth where there is no question, boundary, or lack of energy. Whatever thoughts or ideas that may mislead you will be corrected in this Mantra. This Mantra corrects you, without you knowing it because very simply you vibrate with its eternal truth and it becomes your eternal truth.
All of the sudden things that were unbearable to deal with, challenges that you didn’t know how to deal with, thoughts that kept coming back uninvited are brought to light. The eternal truth always comes into play and relaxes things… that’s all that is needed. Then you see what is real and what is not.
Sat Siri Akal is the Mantra that prepares us for death, for that moment when the Prana leaves the body and the soul answers for all vibrations, all thoughts, and all actions. The penetration of this Mantra helps us to guide our lives so that we take the right course on a day to day basis, and are in the Infinite Flow at the time of death.
Then following this comes Rakhe Rakhanhar. This is the most powerful Mantra that can be practically applied for protection. I have used it many times in my life. The beautiful thing is that it is a Mantra for protection that not only surrounds you with protection but your entire community. People don’t understand the level of protection that I am talking about; it is real and strikes down any negativity coming your way.
It is essentially a very sweet and beautiful Mantra. Many musicians will choose beautiful and lovely tunes naturally because of the energy that this Mantra vibrates. However, the affect is like a steel sword as used by the fiercest warrior you can imagine. This combination of sweet and fierce actually protects our innocence.
The Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Wahe jio Mantra is where the chanting practice goes very deep into the psyche. First of all it is really long. So after you have gotten into it, enjoyed it, gotten thoroughly bored of it, then it takes hold of you.
It is in this moment of boredom that if you stay with it and allow the rhythm of the words to keep beating on your consciousness that Guru Ram Das will come in and lift you into a place where the mind has no domain any longer, where it is between you and your soul and the vibratory frequency of your own consciousness. We all have complete awareness, we are all enlightened beings, and this Mantra takes us into that state.
Finally we are ready for the healing of Guru Ram Das when we chant to him at the end of Sadhana. The sun is usually rising or the first light is coming depending on where you live and what time of year. But this sensation of the sun rising perfectly describes the feeling of this Mantra. It is the Infinite space where Guru Ram Das exists and you are right there with him. It is the time for your inner most prayers, the ones you didn’t even know existed, the prayers that come from your Soul.
There are many incredible and beautiful morning sadhana recordings’.

A Naad Translation of Japji
[Editor’s note: A Naad translation is to be read aloud. It’s about the beat, the rhythm, the assonance and consonance. Read it aloud yourself and listen. You’ll hear it. This translation stresses Aquarian conceptual thinking.]
By Hardhyan Bridgid Hess
Sat Nam. My name is Hardhyan Bridgid Hess. Hardhyan means devotion to God and Bridgid is about bridging spaces.
My Dharmic path, from as far back as I can remember, has been to find God, and secondly to be inclusive of others, particularly those on the edges of any system.
This is a pattern that has taken me over rough angry seas and sometimes gotten me lost in forms of Christian fundamentalism and dualistic thinking. When the dust settled, and the duality merged through the fire of the spirit, golden nuggets have been smelted in the fire.
It has not been an easy road to walk and it has been very lonely. I eventually found my way to becoming a Quaker and a Kundalini Yoga teacher, where the focus has been on the light of God within my soul, rather than an outside God that comes to the rescue.
I trained as a Narrative Psychotherapist and worked in Africa in healing and bridging racial gaps, along with raising three sons in Zimbabwe.
I moved in later life (along with my husband) to the West coast of Scotland and it was here that I discovered Kundalini Yoga. I was instantly drawn to it, but I struggled to connect it with my Christian faith. In spite of my doubts, I trained as a Kundalini yoga teacher. I knew in my soul that there was gold to be mined. Bible verses and Christ return to me in metaphors and parables and I spent years trying to find ways of merging my practices.
I found teachers (Pritam Kaur in South Africa and later Sukhmandir Singh on http://www.kundalinilive.com/ ) who have helped me to find language for, and merge with, this infinite inclusive way of knowing.
When I joined Spirit Voyage’s Japji Global Sadhana with Snatam Kaur, I was entranced with her explanations of the Paurees. I found myself longing to write this in a poetic form of English that could catch the essence of each verse without the clutter of too much language. The Gurmukhi is so poetic and rhythmic, and I had the belief that this sound current could be translated into English and recited in a similar meter and timing. Somehow the ‘accuracy’ of literal translations did not hold the music for me.
For two years I labored and loved each verse. It began to soak into me and I found my mind skipping along to the rhythms. I also began to understand so much more about my own soul. I had never much appreciated my bigger Self and constantly felt inferior to others. I started to see myself as a beautiful being of light and love. It is not always easy and I still blow the bellows over damp wood, but the flame flickers and the light emerges.
In this translation (below) I have attempted to remove the idea of God as a male and have been inclusive of other faith metaphors and words that merge with the ONE – EK ONG KAR.

Breaking patterns, remaking the mind
Nurture the seed let it grow in the light
We harvest joy that was sown in love

At times we consume, take, take take
Then we suffer guilt,

Grace with our folly,

Accept the journey accept the way

Sound of a choir, drawing higher and higher
Heart-beat drums Angel-wings sound
All saints and creatures sing to the beat
Prophet and king sing hymns on your seats
Sing my soul, though the voice might be weak
Tap out the sound and tap out the beat
To that racing heart and poor weary feet
Christ and Buddha say

Over the chasm beyond empty hollow
Follow the cosmos follow the stars,
Follow galaxies follow far The Way
Follow the course that leads to the source
Planets are singing

Conductor tapping, taps out the time,
